Today, I introduce you one of the first recipes my mum taught me. It is an easy though delicious exotic recipe. As for the tuna cream, whenever we present this appetiser, our friends clean the dish and usually end up fighting for the last morsel : )

6. flavour the eggplants adding the garlic together with salt, vinegar (even balsamic), oil, and little strips of fresh mint (you can use also dry mint, but fresh mint is really better). Mix everything and leave it in the fridge for an hour.

L’ideale è servire le melanzane con pane casereccio.

To make things best, serve the eggplant appetiser together with rustic bread.

Two days ago was a very pleasant sunday. I met two dear friends of mine I had not seen for a long time, and they brought me marvellous presents! Despite the content lasted just few seconds (yummy! : ), I can guarantee that the boxes will be preserved jealously.

Within the pool of genes inherited from my mother, there is certainly one that gives me a compulsive mania to preserve everything ‘just in case’. I can’t tell you the state of our home... our visitors know what I mean : )
That’s why I made good use of the neo-buying I did at the Rimini fair: at top, a pair of transparent partitioned boxes. The ribbons that have been having promiscuous fun in a drawer since a long time, found their appropriate place in one of the sections.

Despite the weather doesn’t know it, we are in spring, and the notes on my calendar are more specific: it is May already! Hence, this is the communion, confirmation and wedding month. And obviously... it’s stamping time! This post is dedicated to bookmarks and place cards made for Alice, one of our youngest and dearest friend. The project is simple and clear, like in the best tradition.Stamps from Impronte d’Autore (844-O), printed using Versamark and gold embossing powder on Coriandoli cardstock (“Solare”).
